Very nice and relaxing location, near to Yosemite park gate. Lodge rooms are very inviting and beds were very comfortable, we family of four had a very good time especially there was no TV in the room which made us spent more time exploring nature. Will definitely visit again.

This resort was an absolute dream. The property is gorgeous and well-configured, and the staff is beyond kind and warm. The entire experience was rife with wonderful hospitality and we were glad we ate at the restaurant and partook of the day spa. This time was a couples’ trip; but were already on planning on returning with the entire family!

Beautiful resort with all the amenities—pool, restaurant, spa and just 45-60 mins from Yosemite entrances. It is VERY family friendly, so kids everywhere, which sets a different tone for an adult getaway. You’re also stuck with the restaurant options, as there is nothing close by and the prices are pretty high for meals and drinks. Delightful small market-cafe for morning bites, and the staff there were particularly friendly, but staff were lovely from check-in to out.

I was truly surprised on how nice this property was. We came here because we wanted to visit Yosemite and it’s not too far off from Yosemite village. Appx 30 min drive but the room was really nice and the amenities were super cool. My family and I loved the pool and the dining. Super friendly staff. Aside from dealing with a Karen under our room, everything else was nice.

This resort has beautiful grounds. The rooms are big. We stayed in the room with. King size bed and a beautiful view. The resort has many activities for a family with a game room, heated pools and some easy hiking trails behind the hotel. The resort is about 2 miles to Yosemite entrance and about 40 minutes to Yosemite’s Valley. I would definitely stay here again.

Phenomenal pool and playground set up! We loved the s’mores every night in general store. The property itself was very beautiful, and easy to access Yosemite Park! The rooms could use a little bit of updating, especially the bathrooms. Sofa bed was not super comfortable. Overall fantastic experience and would stay again.

This lodge was WONDERFUL. The details throughout the property were gorgeous and high end. The staff was helpful and friendly. The location is literally 2 minutes from the Big Oak Flat Entrance and then a scenic 30 minute drive down to the main attractions at Yosemite valley. Also, I didn’t bring my 4 year old, but I SHOULD HAVE! They had playgrounds (indoor and outdoor), s’mores every day, heated pool, games (indoor and outdoor), crafts, on site hikes, etc. I will say the drinks at the bar were pricey. $20+, but they sold beer and wine in the gift shop so that was more up my alley.
